3 Day Diet

The 3 day diet is a diet that lasts for 3 days and claims that you will lose 10 pounds in 3 days by following the strict diet plan. This diet is not a good long-term diet. Most of the weight lost during the 3 days is water weight.

The Premise

This is a low-calorie diet which has a menu consisting of vegetables, lean meats and fruits. The meals are very low in calories and probably won’t be filling enough. The most calories allowed on the diet per day is around 700 to 900.

The Diet

The 3 day diet consists of 3 meals a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The following are the most common meals eaten on the 3 day diet.

There are substitutions you can make on this diet. Below is a list of the substitutions allowed.

Orange for grapefruit

Tuna for the cottage cheese

Frozen yogurt for the ice cream

Cauliflower for the broccoli

Green beans for the cauliflower or the broccoli

Beets for the carrots

Toast for the crackers

There are different versions of the meal plans for the 3-day diet. Some of the other plans allow dieters to use seasonings such as lemon pepper, low-sodium soy sauce, mustard, vinegar, ketchup and others to flavor up the food.

What to Get Excited Over

This is a low-calorie diet in which you will probably lose some weight. This diet is easy to follow and inexpensive. You only have to follow it for a brief period of time.

Things to Consider

It is best to be careful when trying fad diets that don’t teach healthy habits. This diet dangerously restricts your calories. While you will lose weight, this weight will be water weight and will come back when you resume your regular eating habits.

Verdict

This diet is not recommended, as it is unsafe, ineffective, and doesn’t teach the healthy habits that will maintain weight loss. There are always risks with any diet you may try. It is best to talk to your doctor before beginning any diet program, especially one that dangerously restricts your calories.

this diet was recommended to me by my doctor and i did lose weight and yes it was water weight but that was the purpose and i did not gain the weight back. so if it is water weight that you need to get rid of it is good for that. I had alot of swelling in my ankles and hands and since then it has gone down. I think this is not a diet for everyone you really have to be careful. I wouldn’t recommend it if you are diabetic or hypoglycemic because of the low calorie count.
